Recognize that new face in the office? When she isn’t wearing her mask? We thought this would be a good time to go beyond the PPE and get to know Segpay’s newest employee, hired while we were all working remotely. Meet Lauren Newman, Segpay’s Client Integrations Representative. Lauren started working at Segpay in May and has jumped right in. We’re very happy to introduce her to her colleagues at Segpay and the merchants she’ll be supporting.
We’re so glad you’re on the team Lauren! So, where were you working before Segpay?
Thank you! Before working at Segpay, I was working as a Customer Experience Manager at GovSpend here in Deerfield, Florida.
Where did you grow up?
I’m a Florida native, born and raised in Southwest Florida. I spent most of my younger years in Fort Meyers.
Was there a dream career when you were a kid?
At one point I really wanted to be an elementary school teacher.
Where did you go to school and what did you study?
I attended the University of Central Florida where I studied hospitality management.
Do you travel?
I love to travel but haven’t strayed too far from home. My favorite place so far is Grand Cayman. I won a trip there a few years ago and stayed in a beautiful villa right on the ocean!
Favorite thing about living in Florida?
I love the weather here, it’s warm year-round making for great conditions to go boating with friends.
Any Hobbies?
Yoga! I’ve always enjoyed it ever since I was little. I try to practice a couple times a week because I feel it makes a big difference. It helps my body posture and eliminates stiffness. It also helps me relax at the end of the day and clear my mind.
I’m also returning to playing piano. I took lessons for six years when I was younger.
Do you like to cook? Any favorite foods?
I’m not that much of a cook-lol but when I go out, some of my favorite dishes are scallops and risotto, blackened mahi tacos or a grouper sandwich- yum!
Any other unique or fun facts about you?
I have been a pescatarian my whole life—meaning I’ve never eaten meat, just seafood!
